Queens Birthday Flypast

[Stuck In A Lift]

Line up looks impressive for tomorrow.

Does anyone know the route they will take?

For example, would it be worth watching from the top of Shooters Hill? I don't really want to trek into London.

I fking love a good fly past!

[Shaw Tarse]

It was rather good!

The whole shebang flew over us here in Amersham about 45 minutes ago. The C-17 was particularly impressive...like a big fat alien bumblebee with attitude (and altitude!)

No Spitfire/Hurricane though...thought they were going to be in formation with the Lanc?

Was looking at a Granturismo at Colchester Maserati when this lot flew over, wondered what it was.

Coningsby had a strong crosswind on the day, the lanc has a 15knot crosswind limit and the spit and hurricane are 10kt if I've remembered correctly.

So the lanc could take off and the fighters couldn't.

Oh right...thank you.
